The Unwilling is a great story about the French family. The father, a detective, an over protective mother whose favorite son was killed in the Vietnam war; Jason, the second oldest who was dishonorably discharged from the marines, an ex-con who just got released; and the youngest, Gibby, who is a senior in high school. When Jason and Gibby spend a day together against the mother's wishes, the girl Jason was with gets murdered and Jason is the primary suspect. Gibby sets out to find the real killer and trouble ensues.
This was a fast-paced page turner for me! I was drawn into it right away and liked both brothers. I thought the family dynamic was quite interesting and the story line was thrilling. The only thing I did not like about this book was the couple loose ends that did not fully get resolved. Still, I loved the journey and had a very hard time putting it down. (Karen's review, 5 stars)
